Jackson and Pablo Schreiber sat down to discuss just that with Den of Geek this past week. Chatting with us about how he noted that director Christian Gudegast is as much of an LA kid as he is, the film was an opportunity to go big into the realm of action movies for the up and coming actor, who made waves in two other LA stories with the very real Straight Outta Compton and the much stranger, but ever authentic, Ingrid Goes West. It was also his chance to learn how to extensively bartend! We also discussed with Schreiber how much Den of Thieves is a departure for him after playing such larger than life roles in Orange is the New Black and American Gods. With Thieves, Schreiber takes on the part of the reserved and very collected head of a bank robbing operation that has in its sights a Federal Reserve as its next target.
